Summary

Great Hearts Harveston is a K-8 school in Baton Rouge, LA, serving 579 students within the East Baton Rouge Parish district, and it has shown strong improvement over the past three years, climbing from a 2-star to a 3-star rating. One of its biggest strengths is an exceptional student-to-teacher ratio of 8.5:1, the lowest among nearby schools, which means your child will likely get more individual attention. The school also boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7%, far better than the district average of 30.5%, indicating a highly engaged student body. Academically, Great Hearts Harveston performs at or above state averages in math (64% proficient) and English Language Arts (71% proficient), with a standout performance in upper elementary math—86% of 4th graders and 80% of 5th graders were proficient, far exceeding district and state averages.

While the school is a clear outperformer within its district, it faces challenges as students move into middle school. Proficiency rates drop significantly in 6th and 7th grade math and English Language Arts, suggesting a need for targeted support during these transition years. Compared to the top-performing Mayfair Laboratory School (ranked #1 in the state), Great Hearts Harveston serves a more economically diverse student body, with 62% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch versus Mayfair’s 24%. While Mayfair achieves near-perfect proficiency in many subjects, Great Hearts is a solid, improving option that stands out in a district where many nearby schools, like Jefferson Terrace Academy and South Baton Rouge Charter Academy, are struggling significantly.

Overall, Great Hearts Harveston is a reliable, upward-trending school that offers a supportive environment with small class sizes and strong early academic foundations. Its consistent support for male students and low absenteeism are notable strengths, though families should be aware of the middle school math and reading slump. For parents seeking a school that is improving and outperforming its district peers, Great Hearts Harveston is a strong choice, especially for elementary-aged children.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, May 9, 2025

I am deeply disappointed and concerned about the way Great Hearts Harveston handled my child’s education and safety. Despite having a legally mandated IEP (Individualized Education Program) and BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan) in place, the school repeatedly failed to implement the supports and accommodations required by law. Even more troubling, my child was subjected to illegal restraint — an action that is not only unacceptable, but also a violation of their rights.

These actions reflect a serious lack of training, accountability, and respect for students with disabilities. As a parent, I expected collaboration, support, and compliance with federal and state special education laws. Instead, I encountered negligence and harm. If your child requires any form of individualized support, I strongly urge you to consider other educational options.

This experience has had lasting consequences for our family, and I hope sharing it can help protect other children from similar mistreatment. Close Quote
